It is expected that by the end of this weekend, the Secretary of State will have uploaded on his website the status for voter registration in California. After all the words and lack of spending or effort) it is show and tell time. The bad news is that it will be bad news. The good news is that if directed, assisted and energized, the Trump supporters and other volunteers can start fixing the problem.
“Voters who register right before an election are more likely to vote than those who register in the middle of an off-election year or other random date. Those who register online right before an election are even more likely to vote. We can dig deeper and see that those who registered online on the day of one of the 2016 presidential election debates, or on the day of one of the major primary state contests (especially Super Tuesday), turned out in even higher numbers.
–Voters who register right before an election and participate in that first contest are more likely to vote in future contests than non-voters, but those who are re-registrants and vote have the highest turnout. This seems to be largely driven by those who register to vote right before an election: younger people, renters, college students. Someone who has lived in the same house for 20 years isn’t procrastinating and then registering to vote right before an election — and those are the highest turnout voters.”
Good information. We need to understand the process if we are to succeed. Will you help register voters?
